Gene expression in cells is determined by the epigenetic state of chromatin. Therefore, the
study of epigenetic changes is very important to understand the regulatory mechanism of …

The dynamic changes in the epigenome resulting from the intricate interactions of genetic
and environmental factors play crucial roles in individual growth and development …

Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) and parental nutritional status have profound effects
on embryonic/fetal and placental development, which are probably mediated via …

The epigenome is dynamic and forged by epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA
methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA species …

Epigenetics refers to molecular factors and processes around DNA that can affect genome
activity and gene expression independent of DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms drive …

Previous studies have discussed the importance of an optimal range of metabolic activity
during preimplantation development. To avoid factors than can trigger an undesirable …

Ambient temperatures that result in body temperatures beyond those of the thermo-neutral
zone for dairy cattle can lead to reduced reproductive efficiencies that have negative effects …

Embryo transfer has become a major method to improve fertility in both humans and cattle.
The current review focuses on predicting an embryo with a high developmental competence …

With global warming, the incidence of heat stress in dairy cows is increasing in many
countries. Temperatures outside the thermoneutral zone (heat stress) are one of the …

In vitro production of embryos (IVP) is a valuable technology to produce embryos of high
genetic value. Despite advances in IVP, the efficiency of culture systems remains low. One …
